Fox's A Good Day To Die Hard Heads Home On June 4

Yippee Ki-Yay all you
John McClane fans … 20th Century-Fox Home Entertainment has tabbed
June 4 as the street date for Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and DVD SKUs (with Digital
Copy) of his latest adventure, A Good Day to Die Hard.

The ARR is 109 days and
the box office take for the film’s domestic run was a little disappointing at
$66.3 million (compare that with the 2007 release of Live Free or Die Hard,
which pulled in $134.5 million).

The problem appears to be
the choice of John Moore as the director — he seems to be out of his element
here (his last film being Max Payne in 2008) — and the script
that Skip Woods (The A-Team, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) has
delivered.

Yes, it is a Die
Hard movie, but it is just not as grand as some of the earlier
presentations … unless they can talk screen writer Mark Bomback into delivering
yet another multi-faceted story that takes the action to another level (as he
did with Live Free or Die Hard) this might be the end of the line for
McClane.

Bonus features are all
limited to the Blu-ray SKU.These
include an “extended cut” of the film, commentary by director John Moore and first
assistant director Mark Cotone, seven deleted scenes and five production
featurettes.
